Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT

Q1) Use the project file created from Week 2. Use it for this assignment. Based on your layout from week 2, using floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate                   material and thickness using the property browser create a layout in the Ground floor Level. Align the floor plan with grids created from week 2

 

AIM: creat a floor to our week 2 residential unit 

 

Introduction: create a floor using floor from architecture 

 

Procedure: 

step 1) go to architectural tab click on tab 

           then choose floor from that in that select floor architectural 

       

 

step 2) then serlect pick line option from modify/floor 

          from various drg option, like rectangle 

       

 

step3) then select level 1 from property browser 

          and select external pick lines 

          by clicking on them with cursor 

          as like this 

          then press enter and click on true green sign for assigning 

  

step 4) your floor is attach to plan 

           like that shown in image 

   

 

step6) change material and thickness of floor

          select a floor 

         then go to property and choose edit type option from that 

         then TYPE PROPERTIES are open in front of us 

         

 

step7) select duplicate option 

         and rename it as 200mm 

         and then press on edit

         and change thickness from 400 to 200mm

    

 

step 8) then go  to material column 

           then in row 2 click on 3dots in material 

           for changing a material of roof 

  

 

step9) then choose material as softwood,Lumber 

         and press ok, then apply and ok 

        then we seen our floor is change with 200mm thick and softwood material 

  

 

Result: creation of floor with difreent thicknes and material are done successfully 

     

 

 

 

 

Q2) Add walls based on the floor layout. Pick lines or use the draw tool to modify the boundary of walls. Use the property browser to select appropriate material and thickness for walls.                 After creating the walls  verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.

        a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
        b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

 

AIM: make a wall using pick line tool in modify tab based on the floor layout 

 

Introduction: walls are arguably one of the most important element of any building 

                      As such the wall tool is a prominet function of autodesk revit architecture 

 

Procedure: 

 step1) draw a residential layout 

    select floor plan from property 

    click on wall and select architectural wall option 

    then go to height and take height as 400mm

    and selct wall type as generic 200mm 

    and draw a layout of approx 7000mmX 8000mm 

 

 

  and selct wall type as generic 200mm 

  and draw a layout of approx 9000mmX 8000mm 

Step 2) material & thickness 

           select the wall layout 

 

           then go to property and choose edit type option from that 

           then TYPE PROPERTIES are open in front of us 

       

 

step3) select duplicate option 

         and rename it as new wall

         and then press on edit

         and change thickness from 200 to 300mm

   

 

step 4) then go  to material column 

           then in row 2 click on 3dots in material 

           for changing a material of roof 

 

 

step 5) then choose material as brick soldier course 

         and press ok, then apply and ok 

        then we seen our floor is change with 30mm thick and brick soldier course

 

 

step 6) verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained

           select all walls and go to property 

          then choose base constraint option 

    

  after choosing base contaraint 

  select it as level 1 

  and top constraint is upto level 2

    

 

step 7) 

 Q,a ) Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

 Ans)  1) if we are wish to change the level of wall or height of building during the drawing thats time connecting walls associated level is very helpfull 

          2) if you associate wall with level then whenever you change the level then our wall heigh also change with level 

          3) and if you not associate wall with level (unconnected) then if you are changing level then the height of wall remains same or any element like floor,roof etc 

 

Q.b)  Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

Ans)1) when we select the height option for the wall, the wall be created above the level,

       2) when we select the depth option wall will be created below the level 

       3) so height option is convenient for modelling wall 

 

Result: Successfully applied material to wall 

           the top and bottom of the wall are constrained to wall 

          

 

 

 

3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level . Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align
    elements to a different level

 

AIM: Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level

 

Introduction: for making multi storey building that option is more convinent 

 

Procedure: 

 step1) rename the level 

           rename the level as ground floor to level 1

           and first floor for level 2

           by clicking on level and click right tab on cursor for rename the level 

           

 

 

step 2) go to groun floor 

          select the whole layout using cursor 

         

 

step 3) go to modify 

           and from clipboard 

           and choose on copy to clipboard option 

 

step 4) paste 

          then choose paste clipboard option after copy clipboard 

         then choose aligned to level option from it

   

 

step 5)  then choose aligned to level option from it

            in that selct level as first floor 

       

step  6)  and press ok 

             then go to 3D view you see the first floor is ready 

             same as ground floor 

            

Result: copy and paste ground floor to first floor with all object and families using clipboard from modified are successful 

 

 

 

4) Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms

 a. Living Room/ Drawing Room ( 15’ X 18’)
 b. Dining Room (9’ X 11’)
 c. Bed Room ( 9’ X 12’ and 15’ X 11’)
 d. Rest Room ( 10’ X 12’ )
 e. Kitchen (8’ X 10’)

The above are for examples. You can use them or use your measured entities to create your model based on your layout. You may include entry walkway, Patios or Guest
rooms based on your creativity and purpose of modeling. Convert units if you are using metric system

 

AIM: Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit.

 

Introduction: the walls that make for division or privacy in the interior portion of a building
